Yeah Yeah Yeahs are used to taking breaks. However, the rest which followed 2009's 'It's Blitz' has been slightly longer than most. Taking time away from music, Karen O contributed to the soundtrack for 'Where The Wild Things Are' while the remainder of the band dabbled in side projects.

Late last year, though, the singer confirmed that the trio were working on new material. Rumour and speculation have dogged Yeah Yeah Yeahs throughout 2012, but last night the band finally put fans out of their misery.
